A catalog of all published HI observations of external galaxies has been compiled. Its construction is briefly described. It contains almost 20,000 entries for over 10,000 galaxies based on more than 570 references. Here the reference catalog is presented. It contains the HI data basically just as they were originally published. No numerical conversions were made and no error correction was attempted.
